C. Koford 213 Journal November 13, 1952 5 mi. NE Gamboa Juan Mina Station, CMT, Canal Zone Got shot in early morning after heard from house. It made one pass at fish & apparently wounded it, then perked it up with hind feet & tail membrane on next pass. Van Horn is a good observer with 25+ years in the Tropics & knows the English names of most animals; speaks good English too. November 14, 1952 Van Horn took me hunting near & on waterways in boat. I shot a Chloroceryle, 2 Helonias, woodpecker, & bobo-keron (decided last). Collected Doriis & Molossus from attic of main house near river. November 15, 1952. With Henry in boat, hunted along waterways. Shot a 3 toed sloth in top of tree. 4 shots of shotgun at 40+ yds. necessary to bring it down. To skin, & skeleton made. In evening hunted from boat with light & shot 2 Nyctilinae from trees along river, a small possum (21697), & another kind of possum which fell in river & was lost. Saw 2 other possums. Henry said Cockleris appeared at night sometimes, along river banks. November 16, 1952. Walked in woods with Henry but shot only a trogon. From boat shot woodpecker. Saw por rats (3 sizes live) & tarsiers. Heard black sloths & me orchards at Juan Mina, tinamous (& 2 days very quiet). Collected 72 Underma nyctinera from underside of a cocoanut palm leaf 15' above ground. Started to night hunt but rain interfered. Usually 3 or 4 showers a day, on other hand, lasting about 1/2 hr. Most rain in afternoon. Facilities here very good for collecting birds but the possum & deer have been shot out to great extent.
